This is the second part of the The MERN Stack Tutorial - Building A React CRUD Application From Start To Finish series. In the first part we’ve started to implement the front-end React application of the MERN stack todo application. In this second part we’ll be focusing on the back-end and build a server by using Node.js / Express.

When building the back-end we’ll also be setting up MongoDB and connect to the database from our Node.js / Express server by using the Mongoose library.
